Hi,

Is anyone using GPG with PM? If so, any recommendations for how to go
about it? (I see there's a package that installs a GPG Service, although
it's in beta.)

dunno, but I'd be also very interested in this.
there is a new version, which is fixing a critical security whole.

Until now I was using ciphire, but it seems they're unable to get a
Intel version up and running for OS X.
So I'd like to switch to GPG as well.

All the best

Matthias

My investigations so far:

<http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/>

is the website to start at. GnuPG itself seems to install fine. The FAQ
also recommends installing the IDEA module (I'm not clear what that is,
and I haven't done so), GPGKeys, (which seems to have been superseded by
GPG Keychain Access, which I've installed) and GPGDropThing (also installed).

I also installed GPGServices (link on the above page), although
GPGDropThing also installs some Services and I'm not sure you need both.

Initial playing about suggests that it should be fairly straightforward
to use, though I don't have a guinea-pig to actually send an encrypted
message to at the moment!

I've just installed the same set.  At present I have to use drag and
drop or services (GPG tools) as I'm missing a means of integrating GPG
with PM.  I haven't found any PM scripts in the 'archive' but have found
some Mailsmith scripts.  Perhaps they can be adapted (?); anyone tried
this?  It's not really my forte.
